SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Decomposes a Product Requirements Document into atomic task specifications, enabling predictable, phase-based project execution by translating high-level goals into concrete work items.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a fixed decomposition framework to extract FR and NFR mappings from PRDs.
  • Generates phase-aligned task specs and a batch execution runbook (_index.md) for deterministic /god-code pipelines.
  • Produces stable TASK-<ABBR>-<SEQ> identifiers and a reproducible file structure for auditing and handoffs.

Quick Start

Use this workflow to convert a PRD into phase-aligned task specs and a batch execution runbook.

Frequently Asked Questions about decompose-prd

FAQPage Schema
How do I decompose a PRD into actionable task specifications?▼

PRD decomposition extracts functional and non-functional requirements and maps them into phase-aligned atomic task specifications using a fixed framework, producing stable TASK identifiers and a batch execution runbook for deterministic pipelines.

How does PRD decomposition handle phase-based planning for project execution?▼

PRD decomposition handles phase-based planning by reading the document, extracting requirement mappings, and organizing the output into phase-task artifacts that enable predictable, structured execution across project milestones.

What is the best way to generate a batch execution runbook from a product requirements document?▼

The best way to generate a batch execution runbook from a PRD is to use a decomposition framework that produces an _index.md file containing phase-aligned task specs with strict naming conventions for reproducible execution.

Do I need a structured PRD format to extract functional and non-functional requirements?▼

You need a PRD containing identifiable functional and non-functional requirements to feed the decomposition framework, which reads the document and translates those high-level goals into concrete work items.

When should I not use a fixed decomposition framework for task spec generation?▼

You should avoid fixed decomposition frameworks for task spec generation when a project lacks clear phase-based planning requirements or when the PRD does not contain identifiable functional and non-functional requirement mappings.
